Crafting With Consciousness

Tag Archives: Wooly Wednesday

It’s been quite a while since I’ve been around these parts. This last year has been completely insane, but with summer coming I think that I’ll finally have time to give this blog the attention that it deserves. I’ve got some big summer plans, and I hope you’ll stick around. I’m starting with a wooly wednesday post to dip my toes back into the blogging pond. Get ready for some serious wool-y cuteness.

It’s been a nearly two month break, but I’m back, and hopefully with a vengeance (the good kind, not the kind where I murder everyone).

This was supposed to go up earlier in the day, but things never go as planned around these parts. Hope you had a wonderful fourth of July (for the Americans), and I will be back later in the week to share some projects.

I know that I haven’t posted one of these in a long time and I’m sorry. Today, I’m changing it up a little and highlighting one particular artist. I can honestly say that looking at the work of Sarah Applebaum has made me more inspired than I’ve been in a long time. They are just truly amazing.

I have a confession… I am a link-sender. I send many many links and videos and pictures to friends and family, and I’m not one of those kind, relaxed link senders. I’m like ‘have you read it? how about now?….now? You’re killing me! Watch the goddamn video I sent you asshole. ‘ (thankfully, that’s the […]
